About Michal
I turn your aging systems into modern web applications that actually work.
17 years deep in frontend engineering - I've rescued legacy enterprise systems for Fortune 500s and built B2B platforms handling millions in transactions. When your decades-old desktop app is holding back your business, I'm the guy who modernizes it without breaking what's already working.
What sets me apart? I speak both developer and business language. I've led teams at startups and consulted for giants like FedEx, BP, and American Express. I know how to balance "we need it fast" with "it has to be bulletproof."
My sweet spot: Legacy system modernization, Angular/React enterprise apps, B2B platforms, and cross-platform solutions for desktop/tablet. I deliver responsive web apps that replace outdated desktop software - with zero downtime migrations.
